2. MARKET ORDER

A market order is an order to purchase or sell something at the best available price right now. It requires liquidity to be filled, which means it is executed using limit orders already placed on the order book. You can’t be 100 Percent sure of the price due to Slippage that can occur when you get a price different from what you expected.

Setting a market order is an excellent option to purchase or sell a financial asset right now at the current market price.

For example, the price of BTC may be fast increasing, and you want to place an order as soon as possible. You’re willing to accept market prices as long as you can get BTC right now. In this situation, you’d place a market order on Geco.one.

3. LIMIT ORDER

You might want to take action yourself on setting a price, which you want a new position to be opened, instead of acting upon the market price; The limit order comes in.

With a limit order, you can instruct the exchange to open a short or long position at a self-determined price for a cryptocurrency once the market reaches the price. This instruction will not be executed if the market never attains the specified price level. Due to the time length, it might take to complete an order, Geco.one provides a more extended timeframe selection that would accommodate this lag in opening a Limit order.

It entails opening a long position at a lower price than the current market price and a short position at a higher price,

For example, Limit Orders are divided into two categories:

  • Buy Limit

If you believe the market is likely to rise, you might pick a lower price than the current market price. The order will be executed and valid when the set price is triggered.

  • Sell Limit

On the other hand, if you believe the market will fall, you can set a greater trigger price for shorting the asset.

4. STOP ORDER

A stop order differs from a limit order in that it includes a stop price, which causes a market order to be granted.

A stop price is stated in stop orders where you would select a price to short or long. A market order is triggered if the coin’s market price moves to the stop price. Stop orders, unlike limit orders, might have some slippage because there is usually a slight difference between the stop price and the subsequent market price execution. A stop order is placed when you forecast that the market will continue to move in the same direction.

A stop order can also be categorized into two:

  • Buy Stop

If you believe the market will maintain its positive trend, you may pick a higher price to initiate a buy/long order.

  • Sell Stop

If you believe the market will continue to be negative, you may place a sell/short order at a lower price.

5. OCO (One Cancels The Other)

The OCO is a unique order type that allows you to combine two conditional orders. It means that as soon as one order is triggered, the other order is automatically cancelled.

It is a pair of orders that state that if one order runs, the other be halted. On Geco.one, an OCO order combines a stop order and a limit order. The other order is automatically cancelled when the stop or limit price is reached, and the order is executed. OCO orders can be used to reduce risk and enter the market.

If the price of Bitcoin is $10,000, for example, you might use an OCO order to purchase Bitcoin when it reaches $9,900 or sell it when it reaches $11,000. The first of these two orders to be attained by the market will be executed, and the second will be automatically cancelled.
